An egg formula for the disastrous hair

Never thought I would resort to this Gil Ofarim style to fix my hair. (a used to be famous German singer, famous for the duet with The Moffatts, If You Only Knew) I read somewhere before that his mom use egg to 'conditionize' his hair. AND NOW using EGG as my shampoo. 

God Forbid I Just Did It! USING EGG AND a myriad of (im)POSSIBLE method to fix my hair.

1. Loccitane Aromachologie Shampoo 
(super precious shampoo hardly use it, save it for special occassion to pamper self, but its CRISIS now!) 

2. EGG (super yucky, but apparently its proven)

3. Pantene Conditioner (the only conditioner with enough content to be applied)

4. Towel dry hair. I DID NOT BLOW DRY…DID NOT COMB…. because my hair is falling off like balls!

The following items are used entirely at my own risk; do not try this at home!

5. Loccitane (AGAIN) Shea Butter ointment (I know its meant for face/cuticles/hands but NOT FOR HAIR, but right now i just dont care!)

6. Mandarin MASSAGE oil from Body Shop (DUH, right now anything with the word SOOTHING, NOURISHES with the OILY ingredient, I’m gonna apply it!)

7. Aloe Vera Gel (meant for sunburn SKIN, well my hair is kinda BURNT too!)

8. I was THIS CLOSE to applying my Japanese pimple cream gel!!!! But my hair actually felt COOLER after all that extreme application above, so I did not resort to that… trust me cooking oil was one that also cross my mind….

Anyway, the whole drama was because I needed to attend 2 consecutive wedding dinner and hair do made me feels weird in the hair. At first it was fun, cos I can play dress up and doll up for the dinner!

But when the hairdressers start poking the pins into my scalps, it hurts, and the aftermath of it was like an overused flying broomstick, something like Harry Potter’s Firebolt… no no no, its more like Ron’s unruly hairy + broomstick, that’s how my hair looks like! DRY & BRITTLE, perfect for a scene BEFORE-PANTENE-WAS-APPLIED-AD.

What DISGUSTED me most about the whole hair do thing..... PINS! Next comes the SPRAY, then the GEL, I don’t mind mousse that much, but PINS argh!! PINS!!!!

Its like, when you touch your hair at the end of the hair do process in the saloon, you’re like touching a HAIRY PORCUPPINE!!! I want to just pull it all out of my hair immediately!!! I did ask why we need so many pins; they just shrugged and keep pinning my hair, gosh! It doesn’t even look any different, whether you put 1 or 10 pins in the same row!

These pins are PLUCK OFF MY HAIR LIKE LEECHES RESIDING & MAKING EGGS IN MY HAIR! That’s how disgustined I felt, the moment I got into my car, I started plucking them off one by one as I drove home from Bangi to KL, it wasnt until Sg Besi toll that I manage to get it all outta my hair, can you imagine the tedious-ism of it?

To make it worst, when you say ‘elegant hairdo’, the hairdresser tends to think (if not always) that hair UP is elegant! Like, they literally tie up all your hair into a bun or something, I mean, is that all they teach in hair styling school?? Can’t they just tend the hair to a less torturous design? Like a HAIR DOWN design at least???

And their sense of style is morbidly socially unacceptable, call me BORING, COMMON, or UNCREATIVE, whichever you like it, I cant stand it when they PURPOSELY leave ONE STRAND of a bunch of hair like a DONKEY’s tail to the side of my shoulder, that is so ugly it looks like a psycho with unruly hair trying to look neat but super fail.

Donkey's tail, donkey's tail, imagine walking into the ballroom and people will be pointing at you "look! she's growing TAIL from her head!" thats not even funny considering you actually have to PAY for such DISASTEROUS hairdo! geesh!

I stay clear from hairdressers!!

The only thing I allow them to do is to blow it, even that, with restrictions to how much hairspray they can use.

Seriously, its worth learning how to tie a simple bun, and you can dress it up with flowers or pretty clips.

Actually, egg + yoghurt makes really really really good hair mask. Try it!! It'll make your hair soft and volumous.

It smells yucky, but goes away after two shampoos. What I do is apply hair vitamin after washing, then the smell goes away.

Alternatively, try the beer rinse. After you wash your hair, rinse it with beer. (you have to leave the beer can open for a while for the gas to dissapear). Tangle-no-more!
